1 · Questions worth asking
1. On the Mailchimp walk-back, which specific variable, go-to-market conversion, product retention, or pricing, moved enough to push the double-digit growth timeline beyond fiscal 2026, and what level of that variable would be needed to pull it back into FY26?
Basis: walk-back mechanism behind #32825/#32826/#32812 resolving into #32849
2. Within the Consumer Group's 6% to 10% long-term growth range, what mix of TurboTax Live growing 15% to 20% versus core TurboTax is embedded, and how much of that range depends on assisted scaling progress?
Basis: assumption underneath #32821 and #32705, operational/core tier long-term ranges
3. For the mid-teens annual EPS growth commitment through FY29, what has to be true in the coming year, specifically in segment mix or margin contribution, to keep that multi-year trajectory on schedule?
Basis: cashing CEO/company long-dated commitment #32882 into its next milestone
